Volkswagen OEM Brake Pads Online

Brake pads are the textured plates in your Volkswagen's disc brake system. They are mounted atop the brake calipers and contact the brake rotors, producing friction. The  vehicle uses the resistance to slow its wheels down and stop its tires from spinning.

When to Replace Your Volkswagen Brake Pads

There are four brake pad types, generally: organic, metallic/semi-metallic, ceramic, and carbon-fiber. None are permanent, unfortunately; they all go bad eventually, often from nothing more than a lifetime of use. When to replace them—that depends on where and how you drive. Most often, though, it's every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. You can also do it when you see the signs that it's time—damaged or worn-out pad surfaces, warped rotors, warning lights on the dashboard, whining and grinding noises, and vibrations when braking. You may also notice that it's taking a lot longer to slow down and stop.

See any of these symptoms? Inspect the brake pads. Change any problematic ones, according to the inspection's results. When you order them, be sure to get the genuine article.

Why Buy Genuine Volkswagen Brake Pads vs. Aftermarket?

They're designed compatible with the car or SUV you drive specifically. That's a fit-and-finish promise that you may not always get from off-brands. Since the manufacturer makes the car, it’s easy for them to make the parts that fit perfectly.
